Farm Happenings for October 12, 2021

Week 3: Our fall season is off to a good start! This week you will notice that we are offering some additional pantry items....organic cornmeal, organic rolled oats, organic flax seeds, organic beans and organic pearled barley. We hope to add Real Salt and Organic Sugar next week. We will also offer homemade lye soap! Our desire is to offer quality food for you and your family!

We have turnip greens and mustard greens starting to come in right now...they are delicious with beans and cornbread! My granny used to cook the greens down (for at least a couple of hours) in chicken stock or vegetable stock. We like to add a little vinegar on them too! Delicious!!

We are planning our Family Farm Day on Saturday October 30th. Please make plans to stop by the farm (612 Shores Rd, Scottsville, Ky) anytime from 10-3PM. It will be a wonderful day to explore the farm, meet our farm family, take pony cart rides and see where your food is grown! Pack a lunch and join us!!

Farmhouse Nashville was born out of necessity. As a mother of four young children, I desired to feed my family nourishing food, healing food, local food and affordable food. I was disheartened at the prices of organic and was determined not to feed my family food that was from factory farms and laden with chemicals, pesticides and shipped in from thousands of miles away! Was that even possible? Seventeen years ago I joined a raw milk co-op in West Nashville. It was a step in the right direction. Our raw milk farmer was an Old Order Mennonite farmer. We were thrilled to have found a source for affordable, clean, healthy milk. Finding organic produce in this same community was a lot harder than I envisioned. It is a myth that Amish and Mennonite farmers are organic. Only two farmers in this community are growing organically. After months of searching, I discovered Golden Rule farm growing against the "grain" of the community. They were convinced and convicted that organic farming was the only way to grow nourishing, flavorful foods that would heal not only our bodies, but the land. Our partnership was only the beginning of this story. We started offering CSA shares to friends and family in Lebanon, then Mount Juliet and today, we serve hundreds of families in Middle Tennessee. Our commitment to nutrient-dense produce, pasture raised eggs and meats is undeniable. We work together to offer food that is not only healthier but affordable for families. We believe that foods grown organically are naturally best, but we also know that foods raised without the use of pesticides, chemicals and herbicides are healing the land. We use trace minerals and nutrients to enrich the soil. Organic is good, but nutrient-dense is better! Come share in the harvest and see and taste the difference of Fresh, Local, Real Food!
